Sunday sum-up

A little late today. I drove up to my sister's house last night to watch the NCAA Division I Volleyball National Championship game between Nebraska and Stanford. I was, of course, cheering for Nebraska, but sadly they couldn't pull off winning the championship for the second straight year. They lost to Stanford in five … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up, 12/16/2018

Another quick update! It's been mostly work and very little play around here. I'm done with this whole December thing. Bring me January! It was one of those weeks where I got pretty sick of people early on and then had to keep dealing with people. Not a fun scenario for an introvert, although … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, 12/09/2018

Another quick post today! Thanksgiving has already come and gone, and now I'm into my busiest time of year at work. I'll be working six days a week from now until Christmas unless this snowstorm forces us to close for the day. I will find out soon... In other news, I made it to … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up

It's been a week of things not going quite to plan. WordPress decided it didn't like me at all when, after I spent an hour writing the first part of this week's Lord of the Rings Reread post, it disappeared. Completely disappeared. I have no idea where it went, but for some reason, it didn't … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up

There are some days when getting up is the last thing you want to do. For me, that day was yesterday when, facing a busy day at work and wintry weather, my cat curled up beside me in bed and started purring as loudly as he possibly could. Readers, it took every bit of willpower … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up

So it's been a minute. It's been an up and down couple of weeks, and my mind and mood haven't been set toward reading or blogging. That's not to say I haven't been doing anything at all. Quite the contrary. I've been spending time with my bookclub friends, went to see another friend's new … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up

It's been a busy week! I completed all my planned travels just in time because the first part of the week was warm and sunny, while the second half has been rainy and chilly. I'm perfectly happy with the London-esque weather, but hiking in the rain is no fun. So where did I go … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up

Fall is here! It's finally here! And we have the weather to match the season! Seriously, though, all this week I wondered if the weather was really going to shift to something more autumnal. For most of the week, the highs were in the 90°s with plenty of humidity. Around 3:00pm on Thursday afternoon … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up

It never rains but it pours, and I mean that in more than one way. First off, we had ten inches or more of rain in the first part of the week, which caused minor flooding along the streams and rivers, and the lake I like to visit after work completely flooded the park and … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up

We had a taste of autumnal weather this week-- rainy, with daily highs around 75°F. It was perfect. Until Friday came around, and the temperatures hopped back up to 90°F with humidity somewhere above 80%. Just standing outside makes a person feel miserable. Get here soon, Fall! Because it was so cloudy for most of … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up
